Tips on Beating the Evil Sage

Take it Slow, and Rely on the Safe Spot

The Safe Spot is the most efficient method of recovery in the game, and proper use of it can help immensely with your team's survival. The recovery method is much preferred than using healing skills or Snacks, as these options are far less efficent and burn through your precious MP and turns. You'll be taking a lot of damage from the Evil Sage so don't rush killing it and use the Safe Spot as many times as you have to.

Conserve Shield Sprinkles for Unpredictable Lock-Ons

The Evil Sage has an attack where it locks on to two of your party members, and deals very high (often lethal) damage to those two members. What makes this attack dangerous is not the damage, but the unpredictability of it. It's possible for the Evil Sage to apply the Lock-On and not triggering it for a while, potentially making you waste your Shield Sprinkles on its other attacks if you use it as soon as you're targeted. The Evil Sage can also apply the Lock-On for its first action and immediately triggering it for its second action, potentially catching you off guard.

Given the nature of this attack, if you have 2 locked on party members, it's best to put 1 targeted member in the Safe Spot and give Shield Sprinkles to the other just before the Evil Sage attacks to minimize risk and Shield Sprinkle usage.
